Another fun tune Doug! Easy to play once you get those triplets down.

Regarding the backing rhythm - is it mostly D chords, with some As thrown in during the "B"-part?

Thanks.

Hi Slejhamer - Glad you enjoyed the tune!

I always seem to forget one thing or another...actually, originally I wasn't going to play background chords on the recording but changed my mind. Let's see...here's what I did more or less (all chords on 1 or 4 - 123 456):

(A)
||: D | G D | D | G D :||

(B)
| D A | G D | D A | G D |
| D A | G D | D | G D |
| D A | G D | D A | G D |
| D A | G D | D | G D |

I may have played the last bar of each four-bar phrase like this (adding a quick A chord before the D):

| G A D |
123 456

No problem Mitch - BTW, I just updated the chord chart to what I actually played :)

Just in case you're curious...you pronounce "Sean Bui" something like "shawn bwee"....
